Game Dynamics for UX: It’s Older than You Think

Game Dynamics for UX: It’s Older than You Think

By Bob Warfield on August 9, 2010

Periodically, one hears about “Game Dynamics” as part of the User Experience.  It’s proponents will tell you Game Dynamics can make any UI more compelling and get more people to participate.  What it’s all about, in a nutshell, is the “Gamification” of your UI, so it seems more like playing a game and less like […]

Trying to fit Foursquare into a round hole

Trying to fit Foursquare into a round hole

By Maggie Fox on August 9, 2010

Catching up on some reading this weekend, I consumed this article from AdWeek with interest.

Does The Enterprise 2.0 Emperor Have No Clothes?

Does The Enterprise 2.0 Emperor Have No Clothes?

By Sandy Kemsley on June 15, 2010

It’s noon, the keynotes have been going on all morning, and I have only just been inspired to blog. I’m not saying that standalone Enterprise 2.0 initiatives have jumped the shark, but there’s only so much rah-rah about enterprise collaboration that I can take before I fall back on three thoughts: Collaboration is already going […]

RWW Mobile Summit

RWW Mobile Summit

By Jeff Nolan on May 10, 2010

I went to the RWW Mobile Summit last Friday where in the true unconference style the attendees defined the agenda and developed the conference content at the day transpired.

By Jeff Nolan on April 12, 2010

I am moderating a panel tomorrow night on “mobile and enterprises” featuring key people from Google, HP, and DoubleDutch (white label FourSquare).

We’ve long been predicting Foursquare would soon hit the Enterprise, and no the wait is over, with Atlassian releasing Fourwalls.
